The story continues

Some of you will already know about the crisis for Santa when the angel and the snowman eloped in Santa's sleigh 2 days ago. As predicted by Kendall, they vaporized together and were united in eternal oneness forever more.

Santa had a tracking device in the sleigh so was able to retrieve it successfully. Here he is returning to base to pack the sleigh with toys. The reindeer are resting ready for their exertions on Christmas Eve, so he has set it to turbo charge and can fly alone. I just managed to catch a glimpse and my shutter speed was too slow to stop the action.

What drivel. If I still had a day job, you would tell me not to give it up and imagine I can write fantasy!

The weather has been foul here today. I did a supermarket shop at 0730 and then took both girls to the vets for a check up at 1000. They both need dental extractions and Bowlby may have an overactive thryoid, although at 14lb she does not look like it! An expensive visit and the prospect of administering pills - doesn't bear thinking about.

PS The image combines a photo of blue sparkly material for the sky, a fragment of starry material for the 3 stars, blended with embossing, a longish exposure of a knitted Santa in his wooden sleigh, hand held and with horizontal movement and some cheating with brushes that look like trees. Many layers and much time wasted!
